Peter Obi’s humility fake, political — Wike

Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike, has accused the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC) presidential candidate, Peter Obi, of displaying fake humility to attract voters ahead of the 2027 elections.

According to Daily Post, Wike made the remarks on Tuesday while addressing Rivers State youths during a political engagement.

The former Rivers State governor questioned Obi’s visits to internally displaced persons (IDP) camps and his public purchases of roasted corn, describing the gestures as politically motivated.

“Make him the president of social media so that he can be going to IDP camps, so that he will be buying corn on the road then you will say oh! Very humble. Humble where?

“It’s fake. Who are you going to deceive? When you were a governor, you didn’t go to the IDP camp to do your birthday, you didn’t go to buy fuel by yourself, all of a sudden, just because you want to be president you are now going. Who are you going to deceive?”
